The share price of Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. AEM-T took a hit at the end of October when the company announced its quarterly results. The gold miner disappointed the market with a downward revision to its production guidance for 2009. However, insiders were buying shares this week on stock price weakness.

Chief executive officer Sean Boyd bought 5,000 shares between the prices of $59.01 and $61.87. Three other officers also bought a combined total of 4,600 shares between $59.72 and $61.49.
